One of the things I find fascinating about Tenerife is that the more often I visit the Island the more I find out about it. There is always something new to find, somewhere new to go. You really need to get under the skin of Tenerife and out of Las Americas & Los Christianos (not that there is anything wrong with these places).

Last year saw my wife’s 40^th birthday and we were coming out to Tenerife again for a holiday and I wanted to arrange something special for her, 2 nights at a hotel. I searched the internet using Google and came up with a number of options. After careful consideration I narrowed the choices down to 2 hotels

1. The Parador at the foot of Teide
2. Hotel San Roque in Garachico

I realised that both would be fantastic but in the end chose the San Roque.

What an inspired choice this turned out to be.

But more on that later.
